For mosques and Islamic centres
Help everyone follow the khutbah.
Baian translates the imam’s speech live. It connects to your mosque’s sound system, so worshippers can read or listen in their own language on their phones.
LIVEQur’an · Ibrāhīm 14:4
إِلَّا بِلِسَانِ قَوْمِهِ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمْ
“…except in the language of his people, so that he might make clear to them.”

Step 2 · During the khutbah
When the imam recites, worshippers see the verse.
Baian finds the surah and ayah, then shows a saved translation of that verse where one is available.

Questions
Questions from mosques.
Do worshippers need an app?
No. They scan the mosque’s QR code and follow in their phone browser. There is nothing to download or sign up for.
What equipment do we need?
A laptop or tablet, your microphone or mixer connected by USB or through an audio interface, and an internet connection.
How are Qur’an verses handled?
When Baian recognises a verse, it shows the surah and ayah and uses a stored translation of that verse where one is available. Test with your imam’s recitation before the first khutbah.
Can we take donations?
Yes. Turn on Support and worshippers give from the same page. Your mosque receives the full amount they choose, and donors can add an optional 3% to support Baian.
